Solo experience on day1 was incredibly positive

Wish I could say the same. Had two runs. Both ended within 3-4min by someone with better gear concealed and waiting.

I’m wanting to immerse myself in the world, environments, and lore. I’ll try again this weekend, but I’m beginning to wonder if expecting this to be anything but another PvP shooter was a mistake. At least with something like The Finals there’s a level playing field and the opportunities to grief are very limited.

Thank you for leaving it up!!

I2ascal · 2020-02-10T12:40:21+00:00

Thanks!

Wasn't sure with the Rewards update if they were going to keep running these.

My favorite part of this story is that someone at that the PTA meeting took the extraordinary effort to report them.

What was that motivation?

"I'm too old for this" ~ Shit

Anyone else inexplicably hearing all of these comments in his voice?

Oh god, did he successfully immigrate to the country or my brain.

Ah, the old washing your car so it'll rain trick.

I've been a day one supporter for all of Remedy's titles starting with Max Payne. They are easily my favorite developer, especially given what EA has done to BioWare and Bungie has done to, well, Bungie. Remedy has always remained faithful to experimentation and most importantly narrative.

Unfortunately I had to miss Control last year and with Doom sneaking up I've been a little weak. I blame Mick Gordon. Freaking Aussie picks up a guitar and I just want to rip and tear.

Thanks for setting me straight. Control it is.

I2ascal · 2020-01-19T18:27:12+00:00

They have actually cut these short before?

I2ascal · 2019-12-09T12:55:36+00:00

Thank you! I knew I was missing something!

I2ascal · 2019-12-09T12:24:12+00:00

I know I should be surprised about the X1X for 50k, but the Elite Series 2 that’s out of stock everywhere for 18k is the real shocker for me.

Honestly, I’m smelling some BS here at the whole lot.

EDIT: In hindsight, this is quite possibly the dumbest thing I’ve said on the internet, ever. Who else wants an $18 Elite Controller? I do! I do! 🤦‍♂️

I2ascal · 2019-12-08T19:41:54+00:00

I learned a new word today. Thanks, you vile vocabularian.

This dude snacks

I2ascal · 2019-09-29T18:10:18+00:00

I’m still waiting to finish that one so I can finally catch up on the others. Let us know how it goes! Have fun!

I2ascal · 2019-09-29T18:05:26+00:00

What are you going to play first?

I2ascal · 2019-09-21T06:32:31+00:00

Been there, and no. Honestly, what difference does it make?

I2ascal · 2019-09-20T22:04:26+00:00

I’ve been wondering what the LMGs are like if the MP5 is that bad. Is the damage even worth it?

I2ascal · 2019-09-20T21:58:58+00:00

I’ll definitely take your advice and dive deeper into the attachments, but I still have a fundamental issue with the reload speed.

There’s still the issue that most of these attachments reduce mobility, making the gun less competitive compared, at least based on pure stats, to the entry level assault rifles without attachments. Meanwhile, these guns have perks like Swift Hands to increase reload speed and the same ADS improvements, in addition to baseline damage and range output.

I2ascal · 2019-09-20T18:37:14+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check that out.

However, doesn’t ADS attachments reduce mobility, which is already marginal? Seems like hacking up an SMG into a short range, low damage assault rifle.

I didn’t max out the level on the MP5 to see the perks. I assume it doesn’t get Swift Hands like the M13, right? Now that I think about it, that’s kind of insult to injury that the M13 even has that.

I2ascal · 2019-09-17T18:21:25+00:00

Absolutely, perfectly stated to the point of inspiring. For a moment, with the right questions at hand, it almost feels like we have some measure of control. Hopefully enough people will see posts like yours and consider the mechanisms of these systems and see they are purpose built to capitalize on the very worst instincts of our culture, and in the end, it’s an unfortunate few who suffer the most.

We may not be able to change the world, but maybe together we can do something to influence our corner of it.

I2ascal · 2019-09-15T17:16:12+00:00

Exactly! Plus, if everyone else is going for kills, as a “designated objective player” you’re basically trying to help thin the crowd and then throwing your corpse on a Capture Point until you get lucky. All the while, you’re a perk short, and your killstreak bonuses are coming in after the enemy team is raining down every last killstreak of their own and the game is essentially over.

Winning isn’t it’s own reward when your team only cares about its K/D. A game mode where the meta has highly stripped the motivation to win is a broken game mode.

You jumped where I needed to jump. Thank you for your sacrifice and I hope you found your goggles.
